Is it possible to modify an ESP bell housing to accomodate a non ESP speedo drive?

I've also bent the front subframe with a small-ish impact with a bank but it also destroyed the wishbone hangers. Did you reinforce those too? And recently done the same to the rear beam, not quite as bad as yours, looking to reinforce it but not sure where to add fillets. I also want to go with...

Thanks Fred, I have been looking for some details of the cup racer beam for some time and haven't been able to find anything. If anyone has some pics of a racer beam or a reinforced beam could you PM me please.

I am have bent the rear beam/trailing arm again on my 172. This time I have decided to reinforce the arms so this deosn't happen as regulary. Has anyone done this and suggest where the strengthening is required. I would assume extra fillets on the sub axle mount plates would be a must.

Will a JC5 fit in a R5 GT turbo in place of a JB3?

I'm looking at shortening the final drive ratio to give me a top end of around 170-180km/h. Has anyone found a supplier for different size pinions and crown wheels that'll suit a 172 Phase II.

I have just fitted an AItech C-16 pedal box to my 2001 172 with 7/10 front and 3/4 rear master cylinders. I increased the pedal ratio upto 6.5:1 but I am having issues with front brake effectiveness. The pedal is averagely hard and has a travel that I'd expect but the braking just isn't good at...

Is the acc belt still in place? I have heard that if it jumps off this can make the cam belt skip. Could help diagnose a problem if the cam belt is still intact. Good luck, just one more piece of advice that has always helped me is to label, bag and photograph everything that you take off the...

Thanks this was taken at a WRX owners club skid pan day. I came second for the day, but tbh most of the rex guys did twice the distance I did, there was a lot of fun being had.

bump, trying to sort something out quickly for this.

did you cut the door shell to fit these? I looked at fitting a flat panel but the center of the door had metal beams that aren't flush with the outer edges. Did you make them yourself or are they an off the shelf item?

Any idea where I can purchase some glassfibre or CF door cards, that are roll cage friendly?

It's starting to get a bit noisier now, no clunking yet but makes a hell of a rattle when the diff opens.

ah got ya, apologies.
